Don't own it just remembering a very funny man
This guy was what a comic should be, bright, prolific, hilarious, and from Brooklyn
Hell yeah!
Best stand up ever. Saw it live. OMG...pure gold.
Saw him in Columbus, Ohio back during the early 90's in a midnight show at the Funny Bone. There were like 10 people in the audience and he still killed the room. Unreal talent.
I did stand up in the early 90's. I opened up for Richard at the Comedy Store in Oceanside, CA in '91. He sat down with me for a drink and taught me show business, sale and life. He was a gentleman. I am so sad he took his life in 2007. He was very similar to Robin Williams.
It's interesting to hear established comedians talk about him with reverence and awe.
He is very much missed!
Any examples of your comedy? Love to hear slash see it
My ex was a standup comic in LA. He opened for Jeni and said that he was bad about heckling other comics. He said he was really rude. I was so bummed to hear that because he was my favorite comic.
@@JaneSmith0709wow not trying to diminish anything but this is the first I've heard of jeni being unkind. Any more details?
I still cry thinking about him. My favorite comedian ever. You could run a vacuum up and down the gene pool...
My son and I heard this years and years ago and it became part of our family lore. I finally found it on Thanksgiving morning. We laughed just as hard as when we saw it the first time. Coal mining stump people. Classic.
I put up two other performances for this special on my channel. It took me years to find these.

My 84 year old mother and I watched this for the first time in years last month. We both laughed just as hard as we did when we recorded this on a VCR tape when it was broadcast all those years ago
8:37 "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!?!?" Perfect! Perfect delivery, perfect dialect, just perfect all the way. When time travel is invented, I'm going back in time to save Richard and Robin Williams from killing themselves.
Original, creative, excellent storytelling, depressing while hilarious at the same time. This is Real comedy.
i have been looking for this for such a long time. thanks for posting this. great stuff
A true master, always new material, Richard Jeni mind was always
working in masterful ways, just brilliant.
RIP Richard Jeni (1957-2007).
I miss him a lot. So sad how he died. RIP :(
Funniest comic, he was a master at work I think 😎
This dude was amazing. I love him asking folks in Louisiana..."I was in Louisiana, and I got in a fight...can you believe that?" And everyone in this Louisiana audience going..."Yep."
One of the funniest comediennes of all time. Truly missed.
Genius. He was right up there with Kinison, Williams, Carrey. His HBO Platypus Man special was hysterical. I wish he could have gotten the help he needed. What a great talent.
I got all his HBO specials recorded to DVD.
@@atworkstation How much you want?
Sorry not for sale.
@@atworkstation I figured that.
Are you kidding he was right up there with mosed. Moses was the funniest guy ever until richard was born!
I've been looking for this forever, knew the bit but couldn't remember the name of the show. Saved to favorites yes!
same here me and my the teenage friends used to recite the New York fight joke verbatim for years. Been looking for this forever. He was a great comedian.
I put up two other performances for this special on my channel. It took me years to find these.

Loved Richard Jeni and so surprised he committed suicide :(
So talented and confident, never expected that from him. I suck at life and wish I only had 1/10 of his skills. But I know from experience that depression is hard to understand, even by those that suffer from it.
Very hard to believe that any type of mental illness could rob a human being of life like Richard Jeni. Bless him and his family. RIP Richard Jeni... even though I discovered him late he always makes my life easy with his talent.
THE nugget of gold...the best
I agree!! I got a virus trying to find this in other places....I wish It would have come up when I searched Richard Jeni here.....
I was the shovel, ROTFLMAO!!! It does not get any better than this. I'll never forget the first time I heard this gig. Wow.
he's fucking brilliant, ridiculously underrated.. its mind boggling to me how this guy didn't have a huge a sitcom like Seinfeld or Ray Romano..
I thought Jeni was one of the most talented comedians ever.
He had a sitcom. It was called Platypus Man.
Ruh12 - post dying from a bullet induced suicide, I believe the politically correct designation is tjat if you are gonna work for the Clintons, then dont give interviews about tjat time , for if you do the shear depression of the interview will kill you
Although i certainly enjoy other comedians, Jeni has always been #1 with me. Tremendous quick wit.
Me too. Always was my favorite one!
Best comedian of all time RIP
absolutely
I miss Richard.
got something in my eye lol
Amazing comedic ability. Funniest comic ever
Hard to listen to today's third and second rate comics after Jeni.
Dude... He was HURTIN'!
The entire last bit reminds me of the Brooklyn Italian version of The Dozens. Lol
Genius
NEEDS TO BE LOUDER!!!
I hear it fine maybe turn up the volume
Hallo idol very nice
classic, fucking genius, damn shame he checked out.
Whoa... Dana Carvey's grumpy old man must have been inspired by Richard's dad.
he's diamonds
Time out? When I was a kid, we didn't get a time out. When I misbehaved, my dad stuffed me into a Pepsi bottle and rolled me down the street.
Internet? We didn't have no internet. We had TV. But not the cable TV with hundreds of channels. We had three channels, and maybe, just maybe, a UHF channel we could tune in if the weather isn't too bad. But we couldn't tune any of it in unless you got your little sister to stand next to the TV with the rabbit ears in her hand, and make her stand on the side table on one leg so you could tune in the station.
I had to walk 20 miles to school every day, in subzero weather, waist deep snow, and it was uphill both ways.
"We were lint-sucking, coal-mining stumps that melted, back when I was a kid!"
Hahahaha! ♡♡♡
hehe, I never knew this was charlie from the mask, but I loved his character in that movie and it was so memorable. When I just read it that he was in the mask, I knew exactly who he was, that memorable. Why do all the people I love, die or kill themselves? It's fucking sad, and I'ma be real honest, I have thought about it, and if you ever read a psychology book you'll know that everyone thinks about it in their life, multiple times. Fuck the world
Fucken funny!
I watched him before George Carlin. Awesome🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🤥
Does anyone happen to know which show it is where he talks about picking up women when you work at McDonald's. He said something about telling them that he's the McNugget smelling paper hat wearing man of their dreams. Iol😅
What a waste of talent & human being. I miss you, Richard. Rest in peace, sweet prince.

Great comedian. Love his mind. Not on this video and hopefully I’ll find it, his attitude on love songs.
It’s a great perspective on 24/7 FM radio stations that play love songs.
As R.J. called these FM stations “drive your car over a cliff love songs”
Awesome comedian..
